Draw the two diameters AC and BD (in red) 



OA is a radius so OA = 2. And by the marks along the horizontal diameter,
OE is half a radius or half of 2 which is 1.  So OE = 1

So triangle AOE is a 30-60-90 right triangle, so AE=

Triangle AOE has area = 

The four triangles AOE, BOE, COE, DOE are congruent. 
So the four of them have area  

Next we find the area of the sector AOD.
   
Angle AOD is 60o because angles AOE and DOE are both 60o,
so angle AOD = 180o-60o-60o = 60o.

The area of a sector is  
and substituting the values, the area of sector AOD is



The sector BOC is congruent to the sector AOD

Adding the 4 triangles and the two sectors,

Area of ABCD =

.

I will borrow the plot from the post by Edwin.


    



The area of the figure  ABCD  is the sum of 


      the area of triangle AOB   + the area of triangle DOC + 
    + the area of the sector AOD + the area of the sector BOC.


The area of triangle AOB is the same as the area of equilateral triangle with the side of 2 units,
so it is  =  square units.


The area of triangle AOB + the area of triangle DOC =  square units.


Next, the area of the sector AOD is    of the area of the circle with the radius of 2;
so, the area of the sector AOD is   =  =  square units.


The area of the sector AOD + the area of the sector BOC is twice that value, i.e.    square units.


So, the    is    square units = 3.4641 + 4.1867 = 7.651 square units approximately.

Solved.

Also using Edwin's figure....



OD is the radius, and OF is half the radius; that makes each of the four triangles in the figure 30-60-90 right triangles. That means all six central angles are 60 degrees, so

(1) The two circular sectors AOD and BOC are each one-sixth of the circle; together their areas are one-third the area of the circle, which is ; and
(2) each of the two triangular regions AOB and COD is a triangle with base and height 1; together their areas are .

So the area of region ABCD is

Consider this shaded area in red

The angle DOF is 60 degrees as the other tutors have pointed out.
This means the red shaded pizza slice area is 60/360 = 1/6 of a full circle's area of radius 2.

full circle area =
1/6 of that full area =

The area of the red shaded region shown above is square cm.

Then subtract off the area of triangle DOF

This represents the blue shaded region below


Quadruple this result since there are 4 identical symmetric (i.e. mirrored) such regions




Then subtract this from the full circle area







That is the area between the vertical lines.
It is the area of region ABCD.
